A mum has urged drivers to slow down and be vigilant near schools - after being hit by a car that failed to stop.

Amy Hodkinson is waiting to hear how badly damaged her right arm is, after it was clipped by a passing wing mirror outside Parklands High School, Chorley.

The North West Ambulance Service call centre worker said: “I parked my car on Southport Road, next to Parkland’s fields area, half on the pavement, half on the road to make sure there was enough space for cars to pass me.
